Photo contest to highlight global importance of potatoes

To recognize the potato's importance in developing countries, a contest
is seeking the best photographs illustrating potato biodiversity,
cultivation, processing, trade, marketing and consumption. Deadline:
September 1.

The United Nations and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are
sponsoring the contest, to tie in with the International Year of the
Potato in 2008.

There are separate categories for professional and amateur
photographers, and participants can submit single digital images
or "photo stories" of four to eight related images, in either black-and-
white or color. Cash prizes will total US $11,000 as well as Nikon
cameras.
